Hi, I use Google chrome and when I want to preview a post it has this one line preview window at the top which makes it difficult to read the whole post especially for a half blind person like me. Anyone know how to change this, the size of the preview pane? :huh:
 
Hi opossum,,

Seems like the problem is with Chrome. Have a look here where there is a short discussion of the problem. The discussion didn't conclude with a solution. :(
 
Same problem in Safari. That might mean it is a problem with WebKit, since that is the engine in both browsers.
 
Okay, thank you! Maybe it's time to experiment with other browsers. Sorry for repeating the question. I searched first but didn't find it. Thanks for the link.
 
According to the Simple Machines support forum, the problem is with the theme. Some themes mess it up, including the default theme used here.

If you switch your theme to the Simple Machines default theme, the preview box works as expected.
 
Thanks for the new info. It works well with Firefox but I really do like to use Google Chrome. I'll try your suggestion.
 
I have a solution for this problem, as it happens to me all the time. It's a little complicated to explain, but easy to do after once or twice:

When the "short preview" comes up, right click the one line that is visible and choose "Inspect Element".

This will open a window, and hopefully the line highlighted contains the text "height: 20px" If not, try again.

Right click that exact phrase, and choose Edit Attribute. Click the 20 and then add a zero so that height: 200px and then close that new window with the Circle X in the top right corner.

Wha-la, you now have a usable preview. :)
 
thanks Jason! it worked ;D on Google chrome I can uncheck the box next to 20px and it shows the entire post in the preview pane.
